Zusammenfassung:A hinge assembly supports a closure and is configured to automatically move the closure between open and closed positions. The hinge assembly includes a linkage subassembly and an acutator arrangement. The actuator arrangement is configured to move the linkage subassembly to open and close the closure. The linkage subassembly includes an upper linkage connected to a mounting bracket of the closure. The mounting bracket is connected to the upper linkage at two connection points. The first connection is non-removable attachment. The second connection may be a release mechanism that selectively attaches the mounting bracket to the upper linkage. The release mechanism is normally connected and is configured to release, in response to a frontal pedestrian impact being detected or anticipated, to pivot the closure about the non-removable attachment and place the closure in a tilted position.
